At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
Xiong Meng's previous words made many people suspicious.
They felt that Shen Tian's way of playing must have some hidden tricks, but they couldn't understand it with their chess skills.
Therefore, everyone wanted to see how Shen Tian would resolve this situation.
...
At that moment, Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi were moving forward.
Shi Tianzi would always ask Shen Tian where he would place his pieces before moving forward.
Shen Tian quickly responded. He didn't need to think for a long time like the others.
Therefore, the two of them played very quickly.
The positions they placed their pieces were very strange, and there was no common sense.
The results of their moves did not change much. Although they were occasionally intercepted by the black pieces, the number was very small and not enough to be feared.
Given their battle prowess, they could easily deal with the shadows that walked out of the black pieces.
The people in the outside world were at a loss, and they were dumbfounded.
To be precise, they couldn't understand this game at all.
This was because Shen Tian's way of playing was completely out of common sense. There was no chess skill to speak of.
However, one thing was clear. According to their way of playing, there was definitely no way out.
This was because the black pieces had already surrounded the white pieces.
It wouldn't be long before the white pieces were completely surrounded.
...
And Shi Tianzi didn't know all of this.
Shi Tianzi was immersed in joy because he realized that Shen Tian's thoughts were the same as his every time.
He was very happy and felt that his chess skills might not be as bad as he had imagined.
After all, Shen Tian's chess skills were profound, and he had the same thoughts as Shen Tian.
This meant that his chess skills were definitely not weak.
Shi Tianzi sighed inwardly.
Looks like I've always underestimated myself. So I'm a chess genius!
"Brother Shen, I have a suggestion. How about we move here next?"
Shi Tianzi was eager to try and chose a position.
He felt that he had grasped the essence of chess and wanted to verify it.
Shen Tian nodded and said, "Great minds think alike. I think so too!"
He trusted Shi Tianzi's choice.
Hearing Shen Tian's reply, Shi Tianzi walked over resolutely.
As expected, it was still safe to move.
Shi Tianzi was overjoyed. "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Shen. I've understood."
He sighed inwardly. Brother Shen is indeed my lifelong friend.
I can learn a lot by following Brother Shen!
Shen Tian smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you are very talented. I told you that you could do it!"
He stared at Shi Tianzi's forehead, and a faint image appeared on it.
…
The two of them continued forward, but the further they went, the more complicated the situation became.
They began to be besieged by the sunspots. Although there weren't many of them, they were still in a deadlock.
As a result, Shi Tianzi didn't dare to place his chess piece casually. He was worried that something would go wrong.
He looked at Shen Tian and asked again, "Brother Shen, what should we do next?"
Shen Tian pointed at a spot, "Here. What do you think, Brother Shi?"
Shi Tianzi nodded. "I think so too."
Shen Tian smiled and said, "Since we have the same thought, then it must be right."
Shi Tianzi nodded seriously. "Brother Shen is right."
"This is our next step!"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched violently when they saw this.
Only now did they understand that there was no mystery to this.
It was like two guys who knew nothing about chess were playing a game of chess at random.
They looked like they were playing ferociously, but in reality, everything was based on luck!
With this kind of chess skills, any random person present might be able to play better than them.
In the end, these two still felt that their chess skills were high and appreciated each other.
Hmm, these two are really awesome!
The older generation cultivator shook his head. "It's over."
The two of them seemed to be safe, but they were completely surrounded by the black pieces.
It could be said that the current situation was hopeless.
More and more black pieces surrounded them, and the chess game became more and more lifeless. In the end, they would be completely wiped out.
No matter which step they took, it would be a dead end.
However, Shi Tianzi didn't know that. He still confidently took the last step!
Boom!
Divine light soared into the sky, and light overflowed in all directions.
Countless black pieces appeared in all directions, surrounding them.
Terrifying fluctuations swept out, soaring into the sky and shaking the sea of clouds in the nine heavens.
Countless shadows walked out from the black pieces. Their auras were extremely terrifying, as if they were going to overturn the world.
This scene seemed to be about to destroy the world.
The older generation cultivator shook his head and sighed. "The two of them were completely lucky to be able to reach this step.
"But the situation is already set. There's no way to reverse it.
"I wonder if they can kill their way out!"
The current situation was even more dangerous than the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others' situation.
The number of black pieces was unimaginable. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of black.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and their bodies trembled.
Being surrounded by so many black pieces, even a Great Sage would bleed.
Given the Divine Firmament Saint and Shi Tianzi's battle prowess, they might not be able to leave safely.
Everyone thought that the two of them were doomed.
Shi Tianzi's expression changed slightly. He looked at the endless army of black pieces and felt his scalp go numb.
"Brother Shen, what should we do now?"
No matter how bad one's chess skills were, they knew that there was no way out.
Shen Tian said confidently, "It's fine. We'll wait and see!"
Shi Tianzi was surprised, and he sighed inwardly.
As expected of Brother Shen. He's calm even in such a situation.
Compared to Brother Shen, my mental state is far inferior.
At that thought, Shi Tianzi calmed down and prepared to fight.
...
However, the sound of the Great Dao suddenly sounded in the void.
The sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth.
In that instant, everyone's hearts trembled. They looked over and saw two blurry figures appearing in the sky above the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
It was a man and a child playing chess. The layout of the chessboard in front of them was exactly the same as the one Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi had walked out of.
Seeing that the chess game had been set, the man slowly stood up, and the child hurriedly stood up.
"Master, why are you going?"
The child's voice seemed to come from endless space-time, traversing through time and space.
It was illusory, making it impossible to capture.
Everyone was shocked, not knowing why such a change had happened.
The man sighed and said, "Step into the outer realm, slay Evil Spirits, quell the chaos, and protect the common people."
His voice was solemn and dignified, and his words exuded great majesty.
The child asked again, "When will Master return?"
His tone was filled with worry and reluctance, as if they would never meet again after this trip.
The man replied, "When the war subsides, I will return."
...
This conversation seemed short, but it caused countless people's hearts to churn.
Some were dejected, while others had tears in their eyes.
It was as if they had seen the great calamity of the ancient era descend, and the world had completely fallen.
There were mountains of corpses, seas of bones, and rivers of blood everywhere.
Countless experts had left their homes and entered the battlefield, wanting to fight against foreign enemies and protect their homes.
However, in the end, countless people had been buried in the yellow sand, leaving behind their descendants who were dejected.
This was their mission, but it was also their helplessness.
Although they had protected their homes, they could not return to their homeland and meet their old friends again.
...
Everyone's minds were immersed in this conversation.
At that moment, a change occurred in the sky.
Endless stars immediately appeared in the clear sky, and light descended, covering heaven and earth.
Specks of dazzling starlight shone on the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, enveloping Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi.
They were immersed in the endless brilliance, enjoying the baptism of starlight.
Suddenly, a powerful spatial energy burst out from the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
In an instant, the two of them disappeared in front of everyone.
Even the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was completely closed and disappeared from the Supreme Sky Tree World.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? Where did the Divine Firmament Saint and Shi Tianzi go?"
"Why has the Spherical Heaven Chessboard closed? They seem to have been teleported away!"
"How could such a situation happen?"
"Could it be that they really solved the Spherical Heaven Chessboard?"
...
Ever since the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was born, such a strange phenomenon had never occurred.
But now, not only did Dao sounds descend, but even the Spherical Heaven Chessboard had changed.
This situation could only be explained by clearing the chessboard.
Many people sighed. "So there is indeed a mystery behind this!"
"Our horizons are too narrow."
"The Divine Firmament Saint is the true chess genius!"
"He saw through all the mysteries and found a way to solve the chessboard."
Previously, they had thought that Shen Tian did not know chess at all.
In the end, they realized that the clown was actually themselves.
They were filled with admiration for Shen Tian, and their eyes were filled with envy.
"If he solves the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, he will definitely obtain a supreme inheritance!"
"The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed the Son of Providence!"
...
At that moment, Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi had already entered another space.
Starlight lingered here, and laws descended. It was like a sea of stars, incomparably dazzling.
The surroundings were filled with stars, and one could even see the Milky Way streaking across.
"Where... is this place?"
Shi Tianzi's eyes were filled with bewilderment. He had never seen such a strange scene before.
Shen Tian, on the other hand, remained calm and unmoved.
At that moment, the void in front of the two of them surged, and endless immortal light burst forth.
Then, a figure walked out of the void.
It was a majestic figure wearing silver armor. His entire body was enveloped in hazy starlight, and it was impossible to see his true appearance.
His aura was as vast as the sea, vast and unrestrained, grand to the extreme!
Seeing this figure, Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian's bodies trembled.
Too powerful!
This person was definitely a supreme expert!
Shi Tianzi said respectfully, "Senior, may I know where this place is?"
The figure slowly said, "This is the inner world of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
"Congratulations on successfully passing the Spherical Heaven Chessboard."
Shi Tianzi was dumbfounded. "We passed?"
Before entering, he had clearly seen that the black pieces had completely surrounded them.
Shi Tianzi had originally believed that this chess game had entered a dead end and that they had completely failed.
In the end, this figure that had suddenly appeared actually told them that they had passed.
Shi Tianzi's eyes were dazed, and he couldn't react in time.
The figure spoke again. "The Spherical Heaven Chessboard was set up by This King to find a successor.
"This game is not to let the white pieces escape, but to seek fate.
"If one uses profound chess skills to break it, it will evolve into a dead end, causing one's mental and physical strength to be exhausted.
"Only by taking every step like This King did when he was young can he break the chess game.
"In you guys, This King sees the shadow of his youth!"
Shi Tianzi immediately reacted, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He had originally thought that his chess skills were superb, but it turned out that it was just a coincidence.
But then, Shi Tianzi's heart turned solemn.
This was because he realized that Shen Tian was very confident and had even resolutely chosen this method to play chess.
If one person could be said to be lucky, then two people were definitely not.
Brother Shen must have already seen through this chess game. He just wanted to share the opportunity with me, so he invited me to play chess with him.
Brother Shen is truly my benefactor!
Shi Tianzi looked at Shen Tian, his eyes filled with gratitude.
But then, Shi Tianzi reacted.
That person had said that the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was set up by Immortal King Hun Tian to find a successor.
Didn't that mean that they would obtain Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance?
What kind of concept was an Immortal King? It was an existence that far surpassed a Thearch and could look down on all living beings!
In front of an Immortal King, even a Thearch was like an ant that could be killed with a flick of a finger.
He hadn't expected that they would actually be able to find Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance ground today.
That figure was Immortal King Hun Tian!
Shi Tianzi immediately felt relieved. No wonder this person's aura was so terrifying.
Only a peerless Immortal King could have such an aura!
...
At that moment, Immortal King Hun Tian calmly said, "Since you were able to enter this place, it can be considered that you are fated with me. You can also accept my inheritance.
"This King will impart the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to you. I hope that you can comprehend it with your heart."
The Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra was an Immortal King sutra that was above Thearch sutras. It was an absolutely supreme technique that contained boundless power!
If this technique were to spread to the outside world, it would cause countless factions to fight over it. Even Thearchs would go crazy!
Shi Tianzi didn't expect that he would be able to obtain the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra on this trip, which made him extremely excited.
He glanced at Shen Tian and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Brother Shen is indeed the Son of Providence. Wherever he goes, he can encounter supreme fortuitous opportunities. This time, it's all thanks to Brother Shen!
Shi Tianzi firmly believed that all of this was due to Shen Tian's efforts.
If it weren't for Shen Tian's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to break the chessboard at all. How could he have appeared here and accepted Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance?
"Thank you, Immortal King Hun Tian!"
Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian cupped their hands together and thanked him respectfully.
As a peerless expert, Immortal King Hun Tian was willing to hand over his inheritance to them, so they were naturally very grateful.
"This is the Universe Stars Diagram. It contains the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra's Great Dao.
"How much you can comprehend will depend on your comprehension ability!"
Immortal King Hun Tian took out an incomparably dazzling star diagram. There were stars all over it, and it was incomparably vast. It was like a sea of stars in the universe, and one couldn't see the end of it at a glance.
As soon as this diagram appeared, endless laws appeared between heaven and earth. They hung down endlessly, as if they were going to evolve into a universe.
Endless starlight burst out from the Universe Stars Diagram. Multicolored light overflowed in all directions, and laws lingered around it. It was extremely magnificent!
Shi Tianzi's eyes lit up, and his heart trembled.
He was immediately attracted by the Universe Stars Diagram, and even his mind was about to be immersed in it.
Shi Tianzi's pupils became incomparably deep. It was as if a resplendent sea of stars was flowing within them, streaking across dazzling divine rainbows.
At the same time, his entire body burst forth with divine light. It was resplendent and dazzling, and it reflected the sea of stars in the sky as he fell into a mysterious state.
Shi Tianzi's aura was transforming. It was as if he was wandering in the vast universe, searching for the truth of the Dao.
At this moment, he completely fell into endless silence.
Shen Tian was also excited. However, just as he was about to comprehend this technique, Immortal King Hun Tian called out to him.
Immortal King Hun Tian said indifferently, "This little friend shouldn't be your main body, right?
"If you want to comprehend the Universe Stars Diagram, only your main body will be able to reap great benefits.
"Since you've entered this place, you can be considered my successor.
"Now, I'll teleport your main body over!"
With that said, Immortal King Hun Tian swiped his hand through the air, and a huge rift was instantly torn open in the void.
Incomparably terrifying spatial energy instantly surged, emitting a vast and mighty force that pierced straight into the void.
...
Jixia Academy's Second Spirit Mountain.
Shen Tian's main body was cultivating with his eyes closed, and his body was surrounded by divine light.
However, at this moment, the space around him instantly shattered, and an endless mighty force swept over.
Shen Tian was shocked. Before he could react, he was directly pulled in by this force and disappeared on the spot.
...
In the Spherical Heaven Chessboard...
The two Shen Tian's looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Shen Tian didn't expect Immortal King Hun Tian to actually see through that he was just a clone.
One had to know that he cultivated the Blood God Sutra, and this physical body was a clone condensed from a Blood God's Son.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see any flaws, let alone his main body and clone.
Back then, Imperial Lord Huang Shi had only guessed and was unable to confirm his true identity.
Not only had Immortal King Hun Tian seen through him, but he had also traversed the endless void to pull his main body over.
Is this the power of an Immortal King? Isn't this too terrifying!?
Shen Tian's heart tightened, and a sense of danger arose in his heart.
It seemed like cultivating the Blood God Sutra didn't make him invincible.
Once he encountered an expert at the level of Immortal King Hun Tian, not only would he be able to see through his identity, but he would also be able to kill him across space!
This was simply too terrifying!
At the thought of this, Shen Tian's heart became heavy.
As if seeing through Shen Tian's thoughts, Immortal King Hun Tian explained, "Even in the Celestial World, the Blood God Sutra is definitely one of the supreme inheritances.
"Furthermore, it contains a powerful concealment ability that ordinary people can't see through.
"It's a pity that the gap between us is too great. If you had attained the Thearch Realm and ascended to become an Immortal, then even I would find it difficult to distinguish whether you are your true body or a clone at a glance.
"It's even more impossible for me to capture the location of your main body so easily."
After all, Immortal King Hun Tian was a peerless Immortal King, and his strength far surpassed that of a Thearch.
As for Shen Tian, he was just a weakling in front of Immortal King Hun Tian, so he could naturally see through him at a glance.
Shen Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. He hadn't expected that his invincible life-saving technique would be useless in front of such an expert.
It seemed like he had to be more careful in the future.
He had to at least become a Thearch before he could go out and have fun!
...
Immortal King Hun Tian spoke again. "That old brat, come out!
"Don't think that I can't sense you just because you're hiding in this brat's sea of consciousness!"
A divine soul suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's mind, transforming into a purple phantom that appeared between heaven and earth.
This person was Ye Qingcang!
After Ye Qingcang appeared, he cupped his hands towards Immortal King Hun Tian and said, "Junior Ye Qingcang greets Immortal King Hun Tian!"
Ye Qingcang was originally a mighty figure of the Celestial World, but he had later become a remnant soul and fallen into the mortal world.
However, he had still heard of Immortal King Hun Tian's name.
Immortal King Hun Tian was an absolute top existence in the Celestial World.
Thus, even Ye Qingcang didn't dare to be impudent in front of Immortal King Hun Tian.
Shen Tian was surprised. This was the first time he had seen the fearless Ye Qingcang reveal such an attitude.
It seemed like Immortal King Hun Tian's status in the Celestial World was extremely high!
"I didn't expect the God of War Palace to fall to such a state. Even you have become a remnant soul."
Immortal King Hun Tian stared at Ye Qingcang and shook his head with a sigh.
Ye Qingcang smiled bitterly but didn't explain anything.
Immortal King Hun Tian looked at Shen Tian and said, "You have quite a lot of secrets.
"Not only do you have this old brat's protection, but you also have that thing!"
As if sensing something, a teasing smile appeared on Immortal King Hun Tian's face.
This made Ye Qingcang break out in a cold sweat and feel nervous.
This was because Immortal King Hun Tian was too powerful. He was a peerless Immortal King!
Even if Ye Qingcang was at his peak, he wouldn't be a match for Immortal King Hun Tian, let alone now that he was only a remnant soul.
If Immortal King Hun Tian had any evil thoughts about Shen Tian, then this brat would be dead for sure!
